Meditations upon the insanity and occasional accidental beauty of everyday life.

I'm going crazy with media today. Time to throw off the shackles of guilt around sitting at a computer all day and just go with all its joy and treasures.

Here are two recent songs I'm loving, well their not that recent but new under my radar. Bon Iver (god knows what he is saying most of the time but jeez he sounds amazing) doing this haunting cover of a Bonnie Rait song.

And Birdy doing a cover of a Bon Iver track.

Why labour over being original when you can do amazing things without having to invent the wheel?

Then again this original artwork for Bon Iver's cover is pretty special.
